English - Chapter 55 - Ar-Rahman

The Compassionate

taught the Quran

created man

taught him speech

The sun and the moon are upon a reckoning

And the stars and the trees prostrate

that you transgress not in the balance

So set right the weight and fall not short in the balance

The earth has He laid down for creatures

Therein are fruit and date palms bearing sheaths

husked grains and fragrant herbs

So which of your Lord’s boons do you two deny

He created man from dried clay, like earthen vessels

and He created jinn from smokeless fire

So which of your Lord’s boons do you two deny

Lord of the two easts and Lord of the two wests

So which of your Lord’s boons do you two deny

He mixed the two seas, such that they meet one another

Between them lies a barrier that they transgress not

So which of your Lord’s boons do you two deny

From them come forth pearls and coral stones

So which of your Lord’s boons do you two deny

His are the ships towering aloft upon the sea like standards

So which of your Lord’s boons do you two deny

All that is upon it passes away

And there remains the Face of thy Lord, Possessed of Majesty and Bounty

So which of your Lord’s boons do you two deny

Those in the heavens and on the earth entreat Him: every day He is upon a task

So which of your Lord’s boons do you two deny

We shall have leisure for you both

weighty ones

So which of your Lord’s boons do you two deny

O company of jinn and men, if you are able to pass beyond the regions of the heavens and the earth, then pass, you shall not pass, save by a warrant

So which of your Lord’s boons do you two deny

A flash of fire and molten brass shall be sent against you, and you shall not prevail

So which of your Lord’s boons do you two deny

When the sky shall be rent asunder and when it shall turn ruddy like hide

So which of your Lord’s boons do you two deny

On that Day no man shall be questioned as to his sin; nor shall any jinn

So which of your Lord’s boons do you two deny

The guilty shall be known by their marks; and they shall be seized by the forelocks and by the feet

So which of your Lord’s boons do you two deny

This is Hell that the guilty deny

to and fro shall they pass, between it and boiling waters

So which of your Lord’s boons do you two deny

And for one who fears standing before his Lord, there are two Gardens

So which of your Lord’s boons do you two deny

Each abounding in green branches

So which of your Lord’s boons do you two deny

In each are two fountains flowing

So which of your Lord’s boons do you two deny

In each are two kinds of every fruit

So which of your Lord’s boons do you two deny

They recline upon beds lined with rich brocade, the fruits of the two Gardens near at hand

So which of your Lord’s boons do you two deny

Therein are maidens of modest gaze, whom neither man nor jinn has ever touched

So which of your Lord’s boons do you two deny

Even as the ruby and as the coral stone are they

So which of your Lord’s boons do you two deny

Is the reward of goodness aught but goodness? a So which of your Lord’s boons do you two deny

And beyond these two are two Gardens—

So which of your Lord’s boons do you two deny?—

of deepest green

In each are two fountains bubbling

So which of your Lord’s boons do you two deny

In each are fruits, date palms, and pomegranates

So which of your Lord’s boons do you two deny

Therein are good and beautiful ones

so which of your Lord’s boons do you two deny

Maidens secluded in pavilions

so which of your Lord’s boons do you two deny

Untouched as yet by man or jinn

so which of your Lord’s boons do you two deny

They recline upon green cushions and beautiful wonders

So which of your Lord’s boons do you two deny

Blessed is the Name of thy Lord, Possessed of Majesty and Bounty
